ABOUT Verisae

Verisae is a privately held company based in Minneapolis, MN serving the unique needs of Multi-Site facility owners. We have about 50 employees in several countries and close business partners dedicated to serving our clients with the best business process software.

Verisae delivers a powerful suite of web-based process management solutions for facilities, the assets in those facilities, the energy those assets consume, the carbon emissions they emit, and the people who manage maintain them.

The Verisae solution is the first web-enabled site and asset management software created to meet the unique needs of multi-site owners. We offer a powerful suite of web-based process management solutions for facilities, the assets in those facilities, and the people who manage them. We built our solution with one goal in mind: to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership, lowering operating costs of your sites and the equipment and energy within them.

Combining information in multi-site facilities to review asset procurement, maintenance on those assets, energy consumption of the assets and the entire building, and developing and lowering the carbon footprint of the enterprise defines our goal. By combining a robust site and equipment asset database, call center dispatching, and work order automation, we have built an integrated, retail-focused, Service Process Network. This network links your sites with the teams that monitor their performance and keep them maintained. Verisae delivers savings whether you maintain your sites with in-house maintenance, outsourced maintenance, or a combination of the two.

For the first time, you can see the operational status of the equipment in your stores on a real-time basis. By eliminating paper based processes, your team initiates and manages every step of the maintenance process faster and more accurately. Best of all, each member of the service chain gains great value and payback through the use of the system.

With the Verisae system, you will have the tools to substantially drive operating costs down and profits up. In a high volume, lower margin business, you know how important that is. Gain unprecedented control and new levels of insight into the "Total Cost of Ownership" on your stores and the equipment within them.

* Albertsons * Aldi * A P Tea Co. * BJ's Wholesale Club * Brookshire Brothers Food and Pharmacy * Clemens Markets * Costco * Dane Technologies * Get Go * Giant Eagle * HEB Grocery * HyVee Stores * Ingles * Publix * K-VA-T Stores * Safeway * Supervalu * Tesco UK * Tesco Czech Republic * Tesco Ireland * Tesco Poland * Tesco Thailand * Village Pantry * Waldbaum's * Wal-Mart * Whole Foods * And many, many more...

Verisae's Delivery Model is Software as a Service: Software as a service (SaaS) is a model of software deployment where an application is hosted as a service provided by Verisae to customers across the Internet. By eliminating the need to install and run the application on your own computers, SaaS alleviates your burden of software maintenance, ongoing operation, and support.

Using SaaS can reduce the up-front expense of software purchases. verisae hosts the application on our own web server, or this function may be handled by a third-party application service provider (ASP). This way, you reduce your investment on expensive IT hardware and maintenance costs.

Verisae's Paul Hepperla Invited to the Energy Efficiency Panel at the E3 2009 Conference

Nov 16, 2009 8:24 AM CST

(Justmeans.com / CSR News) - Minneapolis, November 15, 2009 – Verisae announces the inclusion of Mr. Paul Hepperla, Vice President of Sustainability Resource Planning (“SRP”), in the panel discussion on energy efficiency and the emerging Smart Grid Coalition across the Midwest.

Hosted by the University of Minnesota’s Initiative for Renewable Energy and the Environment (E3) conference participants will hear from prominent smart grid experts, such as Mr. Hepperla, as they address the pressing energy management questions facing the current and future United States energy infrastructure.

"It is advised to collect energy data to the lowest-level of granularity possible. This means tracking energy efficiency efforts to spectacular level of detail; up to and beyond the meter to the energy consuming asset itself,” noted Mr. Hepperla. “If not, you may face the consequences of an energy approach that is fraught with risk, lacks the visibility into management challenges, and the pathway to control energy usage across distributed organizations."

Smart grid technologies bring both challenges and opportunities, and require significant investment in research and development. But smart grids also have the potential to serve as a catalyst for economic recovery, green jobs, and overall energy security. Key questions addressed at the E3 2009 Conference include:

  • How do we retrofit and engineer a stable, resilient grid in the face of unpredictable power sources?
  • What role will increased efficiency, energy storage, advanced power electronics and other technologies play in the grid of the future?
  • What emerging technologies will enable new products, services and markets?

Energy management systems enable a shared technology platform that empowers and motivates participants to capture the benefits of the smart grid as soon as possible. A smart grid energy platform enables customers, utilities, transmission authorities, and third parties to obtain dynamic pricing, to initiate demand response (DR) events, and manage energy efficiently across disparate locations.
